What, exactly, did Alex Grey do while he worked at Harvard Medical School’s anatomical gift programme? 🤔

3/ I take back what I said about the alleged “semi-solid” researcher.
I’ve just found video of him laughing as he recalled a volunteer reporting a profoundly distressing psilocybin-associated cardiac event.
Yes, the slimy f*ck was laughing.
AFAIK, this adverse event was not properly reported.
A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility:
Trans people have always existed, and we always will.
No president, politician, or court can change that.

“[Bill Brennan is] a real expert on the ethics,” said Alex Belser.
How knowledgeable about ethics?
Enough to redefine ethical standards.

2/ It is essential to note that this individual is no longer employed by CPCR.
It’s simultaneously interesting and lamentable that the one semi-solid CPCR researcher has been a supporter of Tim Pool.
I recall him saying Pool had “ideas worth considering” in a post where Pool asked his followers whether “mentally ill people” should have the right to participate in democracy.
#Breaking: A source claims that the captain of a ship “is set to” abandon their ship before it’s pulled into Davey Jones’ locker.
A crew member told a journalist on-scene that the ship’s captain exclaimed that multiple “leftist torpedos” struck the hull of the vessel.

If you think members of the current administration will stop using Signal to discuss sensitive/classified material, I have a bridge to sell you 🌉
I once reached out to Stan Grof.
It went swimmingly.
Enjoy the screenshots.
Don’t care about Grof, but I hope if a family member is ever mistreated by a psychedelic psychotherapist, it is by an older (yet truly talented) man who knows the appropriate moments to (as Grof once put it) “sometimes inflic[t] pain” upon the people I cherish.
3/ Last June, MAPS was informed about Grof’s choice to condone “sometimes inflicting pain” upon patients, as described in the MAPS-published literature referenced above (“LSD Psychotherapy”).
Despite this, MAPS has not publicly addressed this patently abusive approach.

2/ Is the “apolog[y]” from MAPS even “commend[able]” if one of the books cited by Belser and colleagues (LSD Psychotherapy) still retains the passage that condones “sometimes inflicting pain” upon patients?
Is it “commend[able]” that Grof’s passages about LSD-assisted scatolia remain published?
Can someone please explain it would be “commend[able]” for any clinical research organization to twice publish a book that pathologizes (yes, pathologizes) homosexuality **ONLY** for them to later issue an “apolog[y]” (and some passage retractions) once they were confronted about the matter?
Thanks for blocking me, Dr. Brennan.
I truly appreciate your thoughtful response when evidence of your own research misconduct was presented to you for your consideration.
2/ Nice enough to treat accountability as optional and scrutiny as a nuisance.
Nice enough to ignore the ethical breaches that have shattered (or taken) lives.
Nice enough to pretend that if they don’t acknowledge the questions, the truth itself might just disappear.
While I am certainly glad that this issue has been addressed in a peer-reviewed publication, I wish you had offered the same level of scrutiny when you interviewed various ‘underground’ therapists who flatly admitted to conduct that necessitates boundary violations.
medium.com/@sashatsisko...
It must be super nice working for clinical research organizations that don’t care enough to publicly respond to journalists who raise questions about evidence of protocol violations and boundary transgressions in the treatment room.
How nice, you might ask?
The answer is in the next post.
Excellent observation! That would severely limit the total number of cancer patients who would prospectively benefit from this intervention if it were approved.
Any insights on the drug-drug interactions between psilocybin and ondansetron & any specific contraindications?
While tremors can be a sign of neurotoxicity, psilocybin is not neurotoxic AFAIK.
Protocols for CPCR’s cancer study? I do not. They aren’t linked to the study publication. They might be I t be min below but I can’t find them.

6/ One research publication authored by three (3) CPCR researchers (“Human Hallucinogen Research: Guidelines for Safety”) cites Grof’s book “LSD Psychotherapy” (see above) to provide context for their model of psychedelic psychotherapy (with respect to the use of eyeshades and headphones).
Yup.
5/ Grof’s opus “LSD Psychotherapy” repeatedly insists that it is (as expressed in one passage) “absolutely essential” for psychedelic therapy clients to (as expressed in another passage) “keep on the eyeshades and headphones”.
These two (2) passages directly align with Richards’ described approach.
4/ Dr. Richards’ described approach of “exaggerat[ing]” psilocybin-associated tremors (see original post) directly aligns with the approach described by Stanislav ‘Stan’ Grof in his book “LSD Psychotherapy”.
Grof & Richards worked together at Spring Grove.
CPCR studies cite Grof’s publications.
3/ One study publication (authored by CPCR researchers) reported that nausea & vomiting occurred among a subset of participants in a study examining the effects of psilocybin on ppl with “life-threatening cancer”.
It does not reference Richards’ observation.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
2/ Some of the ‘advice’ Richards has offered in the quote above (w/r/t nausea) has been replicated in at least one (1) study publication authored by CPCR researchers, Richards included.

Is @jhpsychedelics.bsky.social willing to publicly confirm or deny whether Hopkins’ IRB has approved study monitors allowing study participants to utilize emesis basins **while** they are wearing “eyeshades or headphones”?
That’s a yes or no question.
I’d like an answer.

“Trust, Let Go, Use The Emesis Basin”
I cannot imagine how any IRB would approve/condone study participants utilizing emesis basins (to help relieve moderate to severe nausea) **WHILE** they are wearing “eyeshades or headphones”.
Can @jhpsychedelics.bsky.social please explain this?
In addition to what you described, I also look forward to the prospect of hearing why Richards’ self-described (and alleged) conduct as a session monitor was not addressed within the letter despite its relevance.
